This derelict timber building on the Murthly estate, Perthshire, is believed to be the former clubhouse associated with the Meadow Bog curling pond. Historic Environment Scotland records that the pond was created in the late nineteenth century and its adjoining pavilion built between 1895 and 1900. Transport Scotland’s cultural heritage assessment also identifies a Meadow Bog curling pond and associated clubhouse, supporting the suggested identification.
The building retains rustic vertical timber cladding, pointed Gothic-style window surrounds, decorative eaves and ornamental ridge tiles above a slated roof. One front window is boarded over; the other retains its divided glazing. The central portion of the roof and frontage has collapsed, exposing the interior, while moss covers substantial areas of the remaining slates.
